Have you ever noticed that any time one part of the body is hurt or sick it is hard to focus on anything else? I think that is because the rest of the members are trying to support the ailing part. The kidneys have a big part to play in keeping the whole body healthy. @jezzad have you found treatment for your pancreatitis? @jecree109 did you know that high blood pressure is a common cause of kidney problems? @dougr19 is correct. Make sure to bring these problems to your provider’s attention. I have CKD stage 3. I have seen my eGFR bounce between 14 - 42. Sometimes these numbers are a “one off”. It is the overall trend over time that is more important. Again, tell your provider your concerns.
